To solve this expression, we must follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS). The order of operations is as follows:
- Parentheses/Brackets
- Exponents/Orders
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Using this order, let's solve the expression:
5 + 5 × 5 - 5
First, we perform the multiplication: 5 × 5 = 25
Now, we have: 5 + 25 - 5
Next, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right: 5 + 25 = 30 30 - 5 = 25
Therefore, the final answer is 25.
